The battleships of the Southern Fleet of the Lawrence Empire took off first with the captives, and this time they followed Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia to make an emergency dispatch, not only did they not encounter a life-and-death fight, but they also made a lot of military achievements, divided so many prisoners, and made a lot of money up and down. In the words of a veteran of the fleet: "The last time I encountered such a good thing was decades ago, Her Royal Highness the princess is a good person!~"

Regardless of the good guys and bad guys, after seeing the Imperial fleet set off first, Princess Sophia commanded the remaining transport ships of the Babia mercenary group, as well as a large number of cargo ships captured in the cottage airport, and embarked on the road back. The flagship is naturally Baron Babia, although it does not have two electric motors, but relying on the remaining two masts and the two masts full of sails, with the help of the wind in the wind duct, the speed is not slow.

Qin Shouzhuo was still analyzing the captured weapons and equipment, and even the command of the fleet was handed over to Sophia. Most of the steel exported by Babia Industrial City is exported in the form of weapons for the time being, and the main reason why all kinds of weapons produced by Babia City are marketed on the mainland is that they are powerful, and in the case of excluding factors such as fighting spirit and magic, Babia City's equipment is even stronger than the equipment produced by ordinary dwarves.

The biggest difference between the industrial system of Babia City and the traditional one is that it ensures the quality of the product while also having enough output. The phenomenon of waiting in line at the dwarven craftsmen in various places with funds in hand is gone forever, and the high-quality and relatively cheap equipment produced in Babia City has been spread all over the market for a while, forcing the dwarven craftsmen to take the initiative to surrender and ask for cooperation.

And the key to doing this is the material.

In the smelting stage, the industrial system built by Qin Shouzhuo improved the performance of materials in various ways. In the final manufacturing stage, different from the usual manufacturing method, which is hammered out by craftsmen, Qin Shouchuang's metal processing production line is only to make suitable sword blanks from materials through extrusion, steel rolling, cutting, etc., and then stamping and forming them with a large forging press at one time.

The details are trimmed, the blade is cut, and finally the heat treatment is carried out, mainly case hardening and stress relief. After the last two steps are completed, the hilt, handguard, and scabbard are installed, and a large amount of maintenance oil is applied after passing the inspection, and it can be stored and sealed. It is the large number of applications of machinery that makes Babia City's weapons and equipment large and of good quality, and because of the advanced materials and heat treatment processes, the performance is superior to other similar products, Qin Shouzhuo does not believe that this world has the power to use primitive methods to mass-produce equipment that is not worse than Babia City.

However, the facts are in front of us, regardless of whether this unknown force is a lackey of the Holy See, it is not wrong that there is a force in this world that can mass-produce equipment that is a little better than that of the Babia Iron Works.

It's not scientific.

The progress of science and technology has always followed a linear development, through continuous accumulation, accumulation of errors and discoveries, when the accumulation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes, the completion of breakthroughs in key technologies, and then to point to area, the formation of a stage of technological progress by leaps and bounds. And this technology that is qualified to lead from point to surface is material science most of the time.

The progress of materials is the most realistic, and there is no shortcut, such as steelmaking, no matter how much theoretical research is done, in the end it can only be burned out and tested furnace after furnace. It is a myth that the material with the expected performance is fired at one time, and it is a good thing to get out of the way when the fire is wrong, and more than 90% of the new formula test is a waste product.

It is said that dwarf steel represents the highest smelting technology in the world, and it has only been how long Qin Shouzhuo has developed a metal whose physical properties surpass that of dwarf steel, so coincidentally there is a material similar to Babia steel, or even stronger in some aspects, to say that this is a coincidence, Qin Shouzhuo is the first to believe it.

There's definitely something wrong with that.

On the way back, Qin Shouzhuo kept staring at the loot and turned around, constantly touching and knocking, on the surface he didn't say a word, but in fact, he was using his own method to advance the analysis of these equipment: "Victoria 404, I need an analysis report." ”

While checking the equipment in hand, the Victoria 404, which is the commander's neural network auxiliary terminal, was mobilized through brainwaves, freezing a large number of auxiliary programs running in the background, and concentrating most of the computing power to start active calculation.

"The analysis report is online, Commander. ”

After a while, Qin Shouzhuo saw a new email prompt on his commander's neural network operation interface, and immediately checked in to see that it was indeed the analysis report submitted by Victoria.

Or to put it another way, in the Earth Federation Theater Skynet and the civilian network are both offline in the Elis world, Qin Shouzhuo can only receive various reports from Victoria 404.

The content was not as Qin Shouchou expected, and there was indeed a problem. Due to the lack of professional testing equipment, even Victoria can only rely on various partial means to make up for the lack of equipment, the most commonly used is sound waves. There is no equipment to generate ultrasound, and you can't play the set of ultrasonic flaw detection, so you can only use ordinary sound waves to repeatedly scan + repeat the calculation to improve the accuracy as much as possible, which is also the reason why Qin Shouzhuo took these sets of captured equipment before and knocked over and over again.

In front of it is a lot of professional terms and diagrams, and even sound wave maps, and in the middle is a lot of calculation formulas and numerical models. According to the report, these equipment use high-precision die forging with higher technical requirements than the one-time stamping and forming of Babia Steel. The quality of the material heat treatment, quenching, tempering, and quenching and tempering is much better than that of the Babia industry, and it has even reached the level of the regional Federation Fleet space standard parts that Qin Shouzhuo is more familiar with, which is a level that Qin Shouzhuo can't catch up with in the earthen workshop.

The most outrageous is the material analysis, the carbon content is extremely close to the perfect level, and a lot of rare elements are added to improve the performance of the material, Victoria even suspects that it contains uranium-238, but there is no professional analytical instrument, after all, it is just a doubt. And after analysis, the section cut out by the old force is even more suspicious, and the surface carburizing is actually used, which does not even have a concept in the world of Elis, and the dwarves have never heard of this attempt.

"In this way, it is very clear," Putting down the destroyed equipment in his hand, Qin Shouclumly squinted his eyes and stood by the window of the stern, looking at the rapidly retreating clouds on both sides, and the transport fleet lined up in a single column directly behind: "Victoria, you are an AI proficient in intelligence analysis, you should have also come to a conclusion." ”

"Yes, according to calculations, there is a 99% chance that the other party has found the Dongting Lake that is still in operation. ”

"So, we have to go back to the roots and find her. With a strong fist, showing determination and strength, he accidentally spilled the tea in his left hand, attracting frequent sideways glances from the other officers in the stern.

"Commander, who are we looking for?"

Faced with the question of the staff officer below, Qin Shouzhuo suddenly remembered that the communication between himself and Victoria 404 could not be seen by outsiders, and if he was looking for the Dongting Lake, he was called out by himself. But this is not a problem: "Attention all! I have already analyzed this captured equipment, it is in the same vein as the production technology of our equipment, it cannot be something produced by the Holy See, we must find a place to produce these equipment, and cut off the source of equipment for the Holy See!"

“yes，sir！”

The slogan is simple to shout, but it is not easy to find it. When Elsa Camila was suppressing bandits, she happened to exterminate the bandit group supported by the Holy See, and happened to meet a soft-boned thief group leader, and unexpectedly learned that Fang Shan had received a new fleet reinforcement. If Elsa can find an air thief who knows the news, she will be able to find the next one, and there will always be a time when she can find clues.

It's a stupid way, and there's no way to do it.

The cottage on Fang Mountain obviously also has the backstage existence of the Holy See, plus the cottage that provided the news, there are two. It is impossible for the Holy See to support only two cottages, but most of them are hidden in the dark, looking like ordinary air thieves, like CIA clean-up agents, living like ordinary people when there is no mission, until they receive the order to activate.

Fortunately, there are always a number of such things as air thief gangs, and they are run over one by one, and all they need to pay is nothing more than a high cost. The healthy operation of the Babia Industrial City, the magic potion factory in short supply, for Qin Shouzhuo, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Back in Babia City, the transport fleet had to go to the Military Command Department with the Imperial Southern Fleet to pay the order and declare the results, and the Baron Babia was the first to dock for overhaul. After receiving the declaration of the Babia Mercenary Group, the Shu County Mercenary Union and the County Guard's Mansion sent someone to verify the results of the Fangshan Air Thieves' extermination, and after being startled by the exaggerated hole in the rock wall at the southern foot of Fangshan, the County Guard's Mansion and the Mercenary Union paid happily.

When the Military Command Department verified the results of the battle and issued the commendation order to the Babia Industrial City, the results of the inspection of the Baron Babia finally came out, and the situation was very bad, really bad. In addition to a large number of magic force parts that have burned out of overheat, or are still usable but have exceeded the replacement standard, a large area of armor that has resisted artillery fire depicts the armor of the defensive circle, although it is not overloaded, but the damage is still not light, to the extent that it must be replaced. There is also the main gun at the beginning and end, and the continuous firing makes many parts of the gun body overtired.

Although the battle was won, it could not escape the outcome of both defeats.
